It is Satan’s work of deception when something is portrayed to people as a rescue mission but which, in reality, is a work of utmost heartlessness.... when people believe a most bitter injustice to be right.... when noble motives are feigned which are based on low and selfish thoughts. Satan will use words of love to appeal to people, and he will be very successful since, due to their heartlessness, people have become unable to recognise the foul play of Satan, who wants to lure them into ruin. He will always use means which appear to be good and noble. He will never fight under his true banner but always conceal his true character behind the mask of good. And therefore it is particularly important to stay alert so that people, who always want to do what is right, will not become victims of this pretence. The human being should never judge by outward appearances. Word and action have to correspond, and where love is truly shown the work of God’s adversary need not be feared. Satan, however, will never do a good deed since it is his goal to fight everything good and noble, consequently he tries to incite people into harming each other.
But God will never be a passive observer where His adversary is deluding people’s thinking in order to keep the souls from the pure truth. And thus, where God’s adversary is actively spreading error under the cover of love and humanitarianism, God is at the same time providing information about the true nature of the one who is now presiding over humanity. God will still leave him in full authority for a while, which he will use extensively, but the time for his destructive action on earth is limited because the true face of Satan shall be revealed and his actions exposed. Anyone whose will is turned towards God will recognise Satan’s work of deception and turn away from him in disgust; however, many will allow themselves to be deceived by him and they will find it difficult to see through the intrigues of evil powers.
But as a warning you all should know that every promise of earthly advantages suggests the work of evil forces.... that good forces will never be involved in an endeavour which is to serve the improvement of earthly life, for this would result in the aspiration for matter which, however, should be overcome in earthly life.... But this is what God’s adversary aims to achieve first and foremost.... to enslave people with matter, to motivate their desire for it in order to once again bring them under his control. And thus the activity of Satan is revealed by his attempt to increase what the human being should gladly surrender....
Amen
TranslatorSotonina je varka, kad je ljudima predstavljeno kao akcija spasenja nešto što je u stvarnosti djelo najvećeg nedostatka Ljubavi.... Kad ljudi smatraju ispravnim ono što je najgorča nepravda.... Kad budu simulirani najplemenitiji motivi tamo gdje su podloga niske, koristoljubive misli. Sotona će se služiti riječima Ljubavi kako bi obmanuo ljude, i imat će veliki uspjeh, pošto su ljudi kroz svoju neljubav i nemilosrdnost postali nesposobni prepoznati lažnu igru onoga koji ih želi sunovratiti u propast.
I on će se uvijek služiti sredstvima koja su naizgled dobra i plemenita. Nikada se on neće boriti pod svojom pravom zastavom, nego će svoje pravo lice skrivati pod maskom dobroga. I stoga je potrebna posebna budnost kako toj maski ne bi nasjeli ljudi kojima je volja uvijek činiti dobro.
Čovjek nikada ne treba suditi s obzirom na vanjski izgled. Riječ i djelo moraju se podudarati, i gdje se zaista može prepoznati Ljubav, tamo se ne mora strahovati od djelovanje protivnika Boga.
A Sotona nikada neće izvesti dobro djelo, jer njegov cilj je borba protiv svega dobroga i plemenitoga, i stoga se on trudi ljude ponukati na to da jedni drugima štete. No Bog nikada neće pasivno gledati kako Njegov neprijatelj zasljepljuje razmišljanje ljudi kako bi duše držao udaljene od Čiste Istine.
I gdje je Božji protivnik dakle na taj način djelatan u smislu širenja neistine pod izlikom Ljubavi i čovjekoljubivosti, tamo Bog isto tako daje i razjašnjenje u svezi istinske biti onoga koji dakle sada vlada čovječanstvom. Bog mu doduše dozvoljava još jedno vrijeme punu vlast, koju ovaj obilato koristi, no vrijeme za njegovo pogubno djelovanje na Zemlji je ograničeno. Jer, pravo lice Sotone treba biti otkriveno i njegovo kretanje (namjere) raskrinkano. Onaj čija volja je okrenuta k Bogu, taj će varke sotone prozreti i pun će se gnušanja od njega okrenuti; no mnogi će se dati prevariti i zaslijepiti, i teško će im biti da prozru spletke zlih sila.
Tako da svima na upozorenje važi to da svako obećanje zemaljske koristi upućuje na djelovanje loših sila.... Da dakle nikad dobre sile nisu na djelu kad se teži stvarima koje trebaju služiti poboljšanju zemaljskog života, jer tad bi se težilo materiji koja međutim treba biti nadvladana u zemaljskom životu.... A neprijatelj Boga to će prvo namjeravati.... ljude splesti s materijom, podsticati ih da ju žude, kako bi ih tim putem opet dobio pod svoju vlast. I po tome se može prepoznati djelovanje Sotone, koji se trudi umnožiti i uvećati ono čega se čovjek voljno treba odreći....
AMEN
